I’m in need of a few 45-90 cases to work with a new rifle while waiting for my Starline back order to come through.
Thanks.

Good luck on that back order. I have had 45-2.6 back ordered for over two years.
blow out 30-30 wala 38-55 a little short
You didn't say what brand of rifle. If it's a Browning or new Winchester, you need 45-100 and trim back. They have long chambers.
Gussy,
It’s a 40-82 Crossno.

I can send you some R-P stretched 40-82 brass I got from Steve Rhoades I've never really needed. Was gonna start cutting some down for my 40-50 BN.
Jim,
Your quest got me to thinking about some things I've been experimenting with lately. Rather than it get lost here I'll start a thread in the paper patch section about it.

Do you have a sizing die to convert 45-90 brass yet?
Here's some - few more'n you need

I’ve been using a Redding 40-65 sizing die. When the decapping stem is removed the hole is big enough to run a long case through the die. Necessity is the mother of invention. There’s probably a better way.
After the trip through the sizing die, I fire formed with 7 grains of Red Dot and corn meal. I don’t know where I’d ever find a set of dies for this particular cartridge. I currently have 13 cases I formed from some HDS basic brass that I happened to have.
